TO ALL WHOM IT MAY CONCERN:

Be it known that I, DANIEL N. BEARD, of Cleveland, State of Ohio, ha-ve'invented new-and useful Improvements in Elastic Holders or Suspenders forStove-Hooks and other similar purposes; and I do hereby declare the following to be a full and exact description of .the same, reference being had to the dra vingsthat accompany and form a partiof these specifications, in which-:-- i I I Figure 1 is a front view of the device.

Figure 2, edgewise view. I

Figure 3, section of pulley.

Letter. A, frame for supporting the wheel.

Letter B, wheel grooved in the edge.

Letter C, screw for fastening the machine:

Letter D, a spring.

Letter E, a cord, one end attached to the spring D; to the other is attached the article to hev hold orsuspended..

' A stove-hook is often out of place, and not easily found, but in-this case it must be attached to the cord of my device, which could be screwed up overhead. p

This device maybe of use in being placed to hold one-or more towels at the wash-stand, or 'to hold the hand-oiler in the meehanios shop, and for many other similar purposes.

The spring is so attached to the cord, that when the cord is wound up on the wheel B, the spring D will be unwound; so, by taking hold of the hook or the towel, or. whatever'article is attached, and carrying it away a distance, the cord unwinds from the wheel B, at-the same time the spring winds up; so, when the article in hand is released, the spring reacts and winds up the cord. A swivel-joint at e enables the wheel to turn to any direction.

What I claim as of my invention, anddesire to secure by Letters Patent,is

The wheel B, when provided with guide g, the swivel-screw 0, spring D, and cord E, asvand for the purposes specified.

In testimony whereof, I have signed my-name to this specification 1n t-hepresence of two subscribing witnesses.
